User manual HARMAN KARDON HE1000A

[. . . ] Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. [. . . ] The letters flash when the signal is not present, such as when a DVD is paused. A line will connect the SBL and SBR boxes when a 6. 1-channel signal is detected, indicating that the same signal is playing through both speakers. Figure 12 ­ Adjust Speaker Distance Menu Adjust Speaker Distance Menu As explained above in Step Two ­ Measure Speaker Distances, sometimes the speakers are placed at different distances from the listeningposition, which can muddy the sound, as sounds are heard earlier or later than desired. Even if all of your speakers are placed the same distance from the listening position, do not skip this menu. On the Manual Speaker Setup menu, move the cursor to the Distance line and press the OK Button to display the Adjust Speaker Distance menu. See Figure 12. This menu requires you to enter the distance from each speaker to the listening position, which you measured in Step Two ­ Measure Speaker Distances and noted in Table A3 in the appendix. The default unit of measurement is feet. If you wish to change the unit to meters, press the Back/Exit Button until you return to the main AVR menu. Scroll down to the System line, and select it to view the System Settings menu. Scroll down this menu to the General AVR Settings section, and select the Unit of Measure line. Press the OK Button to change the setting from Feet to Meters. Use the KL Buttons to move the cursor to the Front Left line, press the OK Button then use the M N Buttons to change the measurement as needed. Select Manual Speaker Setup, press the OK Button, and then navigate to the Level Adjust line. Press the OK Button to display the Adjust Speaker Levels menu. See Figure 13. All of the speaker channels will appear with their current level settings. Reset Levels: If you wish to start by resetting all of the levels to their factory defaults of 0dB, scroll down to this line and press the OK Button. If you are using an external source to set your output levels, simply navigate to each channel, press the OK Button and use the M N Buttons to adjust the level as desired between ­10dB and +10dB. If you would like to set your levels using the HE1000A's internal test tone, adjust the TEST TONE line as follows. Test Tone: This line determines whether the test tone is active. To begin the process of setting the levels, press the OK Button repeatedly to select the OFF, AUTO or MANUAL setting. Any time you manually move the cursor out of the channel listings area of the screen, this setting will automatically change to OFF, stopping the test tone. When this setting reads AUTO, the test tone will automatically circulate to all channels, pausing for a few moments at each channel and then moving to the next channel several seconds later, as indicated by the highlight bar. You may adjust the level for any channel when the test tone is paused there by using the M N Buttons. [. . . ] The unit will turn on automatically and show the word RESET in the Display for a few seconds. Note that once you have cleared the memory in this manner, it is necessary to re-establish all system configuration settings and tuner presets. NOTE: Resetting the processor will erase any configuration settings you have made for speakers, output levels, surround modes, digital input assignments as well as the tuner presets. After a reset the unit will be returned to the factory presets, and all settings for these items must be reentered. If the system is still operating incorrectly, there may have been an electronic discharge or severe AC line interference that has corrupted the memory or microprocessor. [. . . ]
